    Steve Baughman - O'er Quiet Lands Suspended

    A new CD of clawhammer banjo solos has been released by Steve Baughman. In O'er Quiet Lands Suspended, Steve takes the clawhammer banjo on a journey to places it rarely goes, while never straying far from the authentic "bum-ditty" pattern of old-time American music.

    Three of the tracks feature Steve singing. He is accompanied by the Indian tanpura on two tracks and the Chinese erhu on one. Of the seventeen tracks, twelve are played on fretless banjos, two of which are gourd banjos

    This album is not just for banjo officionados. Its diverse textures and rhythms make it good listening for anyone with broad musical tastes.
